Brake System, Bleed and Check for Leaks –
Checking and Adjusting Operations
Important: In
order to ensure that the brake system is fully bled, the operating
over-pressure of the bleeder unit must be set to 1 bar
Note: Only use DOT 4
brake fluid. As of model year 2002, use DOT 4+ brake fluid.

Note: Duration of test
approx. 10 minutes. If the brake system is not leaking, the
pressure built up will not change.
Note: If a brake pedal
tensioner without pressure drop display is used, the Pressure Gauge
MKM-558-A must also be used.
